The Kate Williams Quartet
Kate Williams (piano) Gareth Lockrane (Flute) Oli Hayhurst (bass) David Ingamells (drums) Maddermarket Theatre Bar Entry £20 / U25s £10PURCHASE TICKETS |
Her current quartet plays a wide range of tunes including those by Emily Remler, Bill Evans and Hank Jones as well as originals by Kate, and we’re excited that this evening’s guest front-liner is acclaimed flautist, composer and arranger Gareth Lockrane.
Kate has early-career links to the city (gaining her undergraduate Music degree at UEA) and long-standing patrons of the club will likely recall Kate’s numerous performances for us at the Red Lion and the Green Man. This will be her first visit to the club since 2014 however, so don’t miss this chance to catch her excellent quartet in action!
Some recent live performances are available to watch here, and you can also hear an example of Kate’s writing for strings in this spellbinding arrangement of Love For Sale from her 'Four Plus Three' album.

Aaron Liddard's 'Nylon Man'
Giulia Marelli (vocals) Aaron Liddard (sax & keys) Chris Jerome (keys) Giulio Romano Malaisi (guitar) Paul Michael (bass) Eric Young (drums) Yalm Food Court Entry £18 (inc booking fee)PURCHASE TICKETS |
Named after the three cities that most influenced Aaron (New York, London and Manchester) the 2022 album - "roughly 12 years in the making" - brought together a cast of 42 musicians from a diversity of genres and styles, including vocalist Carleen Anderson, violinist Omar Puente, trumpeter Yelfris Valdes and saxophonist / guitarist Harry Greene.
Performed this evening by Aaron's regular sextet, their newly-expanded set could be said to be genre-defying, but fuses funk, soul, Cuban and Brazilian styles with an over-arching jazz sensibility. Wherever they play, the band's seductive grooves and feel-good vibe never fail to enthrall their audience who are soon singing and clapping along.
“A Michael Brecker-like power and intensity... a highly uplifting experience” - Ian Mann, THE JAZZ MANN
“Liddard has a particularly broad and all-encompassing vision of music” - Dan Paton, LONDON JAZZ NEWS
